IPL 2020: MI vs SRH head-to-head stats and numbers you need to know before Match 17

After a fantastic win over Kings XI Punjab, the Mumbai Indians will battle the Sunrisers Hyderabad in their fifth match of the 2020 edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL). MI began their IPL 2020 campaign on a losing note against the Chennai Super Kings, but they performed better in their next three games versus KKR, RCB, and KXIP.

The Mumbai Indians have not been able to win two matches on the trot in IPL 2020. Thus, the Rohit Sharma-led franchise will aim to develop some consistency when they take the field against the Orange Army on Sunday afternoon.

The Sunrisers Hyderabad made a disappointing start to their IPL 2020 season. They suffered losses against the Royal Challengers Bangalore and the Kolkata Knight Riders. However, they have managed to win their last two matches.

They successfully defended their targets against the Delhi Capitals and the Chennai Super Kings.

MI and SRH are former IPL champions and both franchises have crossed paths many times in the IPL.

We look at their head-to-head record before their first IPL 2020 meeting.
